LECTURE 5 CHAPTER 5 VERSES 1 – 8 (Lecture 5, 6, 7) LECTURE 5 Mahavakya Viveka : 8 Verses Introduction : • Final chapter of 1st Viveka Panchakam.. • Tattwa / Buta / Kosha / Dvaita / Mahavakya Analysis of Mahavakyam : Definition : • Any Vedic Statement which reveals oneness of Jivatma (J) & Paramatma (P) is called Mahavakyam. • Jivatma / Paramatma - Aikya Bodhaka Vakhyam - Content – Aikyam Example : • Tat Tvam Asi • Sayashyam Purusha… Divya…. Saekaha • Avaantara Vakhyam – other statements – prepares for revealation of Aikyam called preparatory Vakyams. • Like Pancha Kosha – Talks only about Jeevatma No Pramatma. • Srishti Portion talks only about Paramatma – No Jivatma or Aikyam. They have no relevance themselves. • Do not have independent Validity (Tat Paryam). • Mahavakyam alone has Validity (Tat Paryam) • Actual wedding 2 minutes – Muhurtam time. Preparations many – Right from Engagement, Kancheepuram trip. All don’t have purpose by themselves. • Travel – part of wedding function, therefore meaningful. • Avantara Vakyam – Svataha Tat Paryam Nasti. Minus wedding – All activities on both parties futile & waste. Without Mahavakyam, Avaantara Vakhyam have no relevance. Mahavakya Definition : • Tatparya Bodhaka Vakhyam, which reveals central purpose of upanishad. What is Benefit of Aikya Jnanam? • Produces Aikya Jnanam in the mind of the student. • It is Pramana Vakhyam. Pramanam Janayati. • Shabda Pramanam is supposed to Generate Prama – Aikya Jnanam. What is Benefit of Aikya Jnanam? • Bheda Krama Nivritti. • Removal of misconception that there is a distance between me & god. Scatters away delusion. Why remove delusion? • Crucial Delusion. • Bagawan source of Peace / Happiness / Security (PHS). • I feel PHS is away. Searching for PHS is a mirage. • Moksha = Converting struggles into game called Leela. • Conversion requires removing delusion – “Bagawan source of PHS is away.” • Knowledge says : Bagawan is my very Adhishtanam / Svarupam. • Therefore Mahavakyam – Gives liberating knowledge crucial. How Shastra conveys Jivatma / Paramatma – Aikyam + how are we to understand? • Panchadasi – 1st Chapter = Mahavakya - Jahati Lakshana - Ajahati Lakshana • Original Conciousness = Not Micro / Macro Not Vyashti / Samashti • Vyashti Shariram because of Reflected Conciousness… • Aikyam only in one component. • Reject – other levels by Baga Tyaga…. • Reject in terms of Understanding. • Original Conciousness – Bimba / Upahita / Sakshi Chaitanyam • Remove small & Big from Jivatma / Paramatma… • Jivatma / Paramatma – Adjectives go away – Jiva + Param go away – Atma remains. • Desha / Kala – Nir Muktah… • Shanta Ananda … Avabodhamana… • This is wedding ceremony • Abhedha / Aikyam – w.r.t. Original Conciousness • 4 levels Bheda – 4 votes – Bigger. • Original Conciousness – only one… not available for seeing / hearing. Why showcasing Abheda + Brush Aside prominent Bheda? Answer : Domination - Bheda - Abheda one. Why important? • Abheda = Reality = Satyaha. • Genuine one 100 Rupees note better than 4 - 500 Rupees fake. • Doesn’t contain Peace / Happiness / Security (PHS)…. • Can’t help .. Abheda is there in Vyavaharika.. Superficially – utility is there. • Want to buy Peace / Happiness / Security (PHS) … have to come to Abhed.. Taittriya Upanishad : 2 – 7 – 1 : Anilayame… • Udara Mantram Kurute. • Ishvara can’t give permanent security in Vyavaharika plane, Ishvara has to function as Srishti / Sthithi / Laya Karta. He is cause of Janma + Marana (to clean the world.) • To cross mortality, have to go beyond Ishvara. Mandukya Upanishad – Advaita Prakaranam – 1st Sloka : • Upan Ashnute Karma… • Devotee / Diety Upasana has Jiva / Ishvara Bheda. It is relevant till Sadhana Chatushtaya Sampatti comes. • Have to transcend by Aikya Jnanam generated by Mahavakya. Therefore it is crucial. • Mahavakyas in veda Purva Baga also. All Vedas uniform in their teaching. • Therefore vidyaranya takes 4 samples from 4 Vedas. Gathi Samanya Nyaya congruity consensus logic. 1) Rig Veda : Aitareya Upanishad : 3 – 1 – 1 Pragyanam Brahma 2) Shukla Yajur Veda : Aham Brahma Asmi Brihardanyaka Upanishad : 1 – 4 - 10 4) Atharvana Veda : Ayam Atma Brahma: Mandukya Upanishad : 2nd Mantra Process of Vichara – Analysis to arrive at Meaning : • Take each word – Vachyartha or Lakshyartha. • Establish Vachyartha doesn’t fit. • Conclude Lakshyartha alone fits. • Try each - Jahati Lakshana. - Ajahati Lakshana - Baga Tyaga Lakshana Conclude : • By Baga Tyaga Lakshana arrive at final meaning of Mahavakya. • Vidyaranya here in this chapter gives final meaning arrived through Baga Tyaga Lakshana Example : Go to fast food restaurant if hungry Not 5 Star – Go there to wait for hunger to come. • Vedanta Sara / Rama Gita has Vichara in Detail. Verses 1 + 2 : Pragyanam Brahma – Rig Veda. Verse 1 : • Pragyanam – Final meaning Baga Tyaga Lakshyartha meaning. • Separate Sthula / Sukshma / Karana Shariram and remove Chidabasa. Only original Conciousness survives.. (Like peeled groundnut). • That Original Conciousness by which one sees every object / every Rupam is Pragyanam. • By instrumentality means – Eyes. • Srunoti – One experiences sound through ear instrument • Jigrati – One experiences smell through Nose • Svadhu / Asvadu – Vijanati – Knows good and bad Taste. • By which one experiences touch through the skin. • By which one is able to speak, to utter through vag indriyam. • By which all Jnanenindriyam + Karmenindriyam function. • That conciousness which illumines the world through all organs is called “Pragyanam” Doubt : • Does Original Conciousness (OC) or Reflected Conciousness (RC) illumine the world? • Original Conciousness is reflected in the mind. That goes through sense organs… Dakshinamoorthy Stotram – Verse 3 • Original Conciousness – alone available in form of Reflected Conciousness. • No Reflected Conciousness exists, having separate existence different from Original Conciousness. • Reflected Sun can illumine Moon. • In Night, does Moon or Sun illumine earth? • Moon not planet – Upagraha. Sunlight falling on Moon illumines earth. • During Day Sun directly illumines. • During Night, Sun indirectly illumine Moon has no light of its own. Katho Upanishad – II - V - 15 • Whatever chit illumines, that alone chidabasa illumines. No separate chidabasa separate from chit. • Bimba Chaitanyam, Sakshi Chaitanyena “Idam Sarvam Vijnati.” • That Original Conciousness is named Pragyanam in Rig – Aitareya Upanishad. • Superficially, chidabasa alone comes. By Baga Tyaga Lakshanaya, leave chidabasa, and arrive at Original Conciousness. Question : What is wrong if I take Vachyartha – chidabasa instead of Chit Lakshyartha? • Vachyartha – Primary meaning – more powerful than Lakshyartha – secondary meaning – Mukhya Artha. • If you take chidabasa, Aikyam can’t come, Pragyanam can’t be Brahman. • Brahman is limitless. • Chidabasa is limited – Reflects in mind confined to hall. • What is in T – Nagar – Chidabasa doesn’t illumine. • Vachyartha chidabasa – Brahman Aikyam will not fit. • Therefore drop Vachyartha Chidabasa. Lakshyam chit is taken by Baga Tyaga Lakshana. Katho Upanishad : 2 – 4 – 3 • Pragyanam – Not Abasa but Bimba chaitanyam. Give up Chidabasa and retain chit. LECTURE 6 LECTURE – 6 Verse 1 : • Pragyanam – Padartha Jnanam Verse 2 : • Brahman – Vakyartha Jnanam • Without Padartha Jnanam, Vakyartha Jnanam incomplete. • Without Vakyartha Jnanam, Padartha Jnanam not poissible. Example : • 1st Padam – Prajanam = Conciousness. • That Conciousness through which everything is known or experienced. • Everything inside mind + external illumined by Conciousness. Question : • Conciousness illumining internal world – How it illumines external world. Chidabasa illumines external world. How is it chit? Answer : • It is chit itself which obtains in mind as Chidabasa – Vyavaharika Avatara of Chit. • Don’t differentiate Chit + Chidabasa in this context. • Special point – are Chit + Chidabasa different or same? • Is Original Conciousness + Reflected Conciousness – different or identical? • Is original face & Reflected face different or identical? • Therefore Sambanda between Original Conciousness & Reflected Conciousness. • Original Face + Reflected face is Bimba + Pratibimba – Bheda / Abheda Sambandha. In which context what should be used? 1) Soul travel after death • Chidabasa Travels • Chit – all pervading – No travel • Highlight “Bheda.” 2) Chit alone illumines internal + External world. Highlight Abheda – Chit alone Chidabasa. • One chit illumines internal World + external world. • Here Abheda kept in mind. • Therefore reflection & Original different & Identical. • Original Conciousness illumining external world. • Reflected Conciousness is Original Conciousness Avatara. • Pragyana is Chaitanyam in which we differentiate chit + Chidabasa. • Svarupa Dravya – Padartha over. Verse 2 : Meaning of Brahman

  • Perfect Guru
    Perfect Guru By H. H. Krishna Chaitanya Swami 1 Table of contents Introduction Chapter 1 Who can be called a guru? Chapter 2 Qualities and activities of guru. Chapter 3 Indra lost heaven by offending his spiritual master. Dedicated to His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada and Bhakti Svarupa Damodara Swami Srila Sripada Introducion Introduction A guru is one who disseminates transcendental knowledge among his disciples with reference to distinction of matter, spirit and Supreme Spirit, Godhead. Many teachers have tried to be gurus, but not all of them could become a guru for want of necessary qualification. To be a guru, one must be able to protect his disciples from falling down into the repeated cycle of birth, death, old age, and disease by associating the disciple with God in yoga. Guru teaches mainstream yoga practices, given in the scriptures, which unites the disciple with the Supreme Lord. A Guru does not manifest magic, gold, siddhis. He neither watch TV serials nor digital movies, and certainly does none of the prohibited acts viz. eat betel nuts, smoke ganja, and travel for amusement, eat meat, drink alcohol, has close association with females, nor gamble. He cannot be identified from a long beard and curly long hair with golden turban, a clever disguise to attract the followers. The goal of a guru is not to render dry social services in the form of hospitals and schools unless it is strongly connected to the Supreme Lord Krishna. He does not wear gold and diamond ornaments on his body, does not dance with his female disciples.

  • Sri Ramakrishna & His Disciples in Orissa
    Preface Pilgrimage places like Varanasi, Prayag, Haridwar and Vrindavan have always got prominent place in any pilgrimage of the devotees and its importance is well known. Many mythological stories are associated to these places. Though Orissa had many temples, historical places and natural scenic beauty spot, but it did not get so much prominence. This may be due to the lack of connectivity. Buddhism and Jainism flourished there followed by Shaivaism and Vainavism. After reading the lives of Sri Chaitanya, Sri Ramakrishna, Holy Mother and direct disciples we come to know the importance and spiritual significance of these places. Holy Mother and many disciples of Sri Ramakrishna had great time in Orissa. Many are blessed here by the vision of Lord Jagannath or the Master. The lives of these great souls had shown us a way to visit these places with spiritual consciousness and devotion. Unless we read the life of Sri Chaitanya we will not understand the life of Sri Ramakrishna properly. Similarly unless we study the chapter in the lives of these great souls in Orissa we will not be able to understand and appreciate the significance of these places. If we go on pilgrimage to Orissa with same spirit and devotion as shown by these great souls, we are sure to be benefited spiritually. This collection will put the light on the Orissa chapter in the lives of these great souls and will inspire the devotees to read more about their lives in details. This will also help the devotees to go to pilgrimage in Orissa and strengthen their devotion.

  • Tatireya Upanishad, Class 15,Taitreya Upanishads, Class14
    Tatireya Upanishad, Class 15 Greetings All, Chapter # 1, Anuvakaha # 9, Shloka # 1: The practice of what is right and proper, as fixed by the scriptural texts, is to be done along with reading the texts oneself and propagating the truths of the same. “Truth”, meaning practicing in life what is to be understood to be right and proper, is to be pursued along with regular studies and preaching. Penance, study, and preaching; control of the senses, study and preaching; tranquility, study and preaching; the “maintenance of fire”, study and preaching; offering oblations in fire sacrifice, study and preaching of the Vedas; serving the guests, study and preaching; the performance of duties towards man, study and preaching; duties towards children, study and preaching of the Vedas; procreation, study and preaching; propagation of the race, study and preaching; all these are things to be practiced sincerely. Satyavaca, son of Rathitara, holds that truth alone is to be strictly practiced. Taponitya, a son of Purusista declares that penance alone is to be practiced. Naka, son of Modgala, holds the view that the study and preaching of the Vedas alone is to be practiced; that verily, is penance; aye that is penance. Continuing his teaching of the Upanishad, Swami Paramarthananda said, after talking about the five Upasanas, now in anuvakaha # 9 Karma yoga is being discussed. Karma Yoga is an integral part of spiritual sadhanas. One can drop Karma Yoga only at death or at time of Sanyasa. Until then, in all three ashramas, one has to perform Karma. In Brahmacharya and Vanaprastha there are fewer Karmas while Grihasthashrama is dominated by Karmas.
